Computer Speakers as Monitors

Snoogans775	Date: September 4, 2005 @ 10:56 PM I want to use my computer speakers as my monitors for the multitrack signal I'm getting from a USB device for playback in Cubase My sound card does not have a 1/4" jack, is there any way I can send the signal from my USB mixer to my sound card through my computer?

GeneHilbert	Date: September 5, 2005 @ 10:14 PM Snoog - I'm really not sure what you are asking to do...... but based on what you are saying - my gut says no..... I may be wrong but there is not enough info here to speculate otherwise. Dude..... sound cards are dirt cheap.... and even the really good one are not that expensive. If you can save $200 and just get a M-Audio Delta Card
Snoogans775	Date: September 6, 2005 @ 12:25 AM fuck it all, I'm buying headphones, I tried some really wacked out ideas, and the great result was a single channel fuzzy fuzzy monitor signal.
hueseph	Date: September 6, 2005 @ 9:05 PM If you can monitor from the mixer all you need to do is get a dual mono rca to single stereo mini plug or mini jack depending on what you need. Plug the rca's into the "tape out" on the mixer and the mini plug into your monitors or mini plug from your monitors to the mini jack end of the "Y" cable. If you list your specs it make it easier to trouble shoot. I do this a lot so we could probably figure something out for you.
mattbanx	Date: September 6, 2005 @ 9:58 PM I patch from my home stereo in to my headphone input of my computer to check how the sound balanced. Occasionally, I use tape players to overdub. But I have a second computer, and I only play by ear. I only have wave with no compter graphics for sound, outside of what is furnished through wave when I playback. If I use anything other than headphones to record, I end up with more hiss and hum than music. Headphones cause less interference for me than a patch cord. I would like to get an external analog mixer with a graphics display. Thaen I could play sometimes without having this thing on my head.
detunedfound...	Date: September 13, 2005 @ 5:17 AM Hi I have a problem regarding Cubase VST 5. When I play a note from a keyboard it gives so much delay which causes a latency of 46 ms. How can I solve this problem. I tried everything. Do I have to download a new driver for my ac97 soundcard, which solved the problem ? Details: Pentium ATLON 2 ghz memory 702 mb int Mark Compaq Thanks in advance
hueseph	Date: September 14, 2005 @ 1:14 AM What did you expect from your AC97 card? You could download another asio driver but 46 milliseconds should hardly be noticeable. Just enough to be audible. 46 ms is about the same as the delay in a chorus effect. If you want to truly deal with latency, go buy a decent card or audio interface like anything from M-Audio, Terratec, Echo, Hammerhead. These should solve your latency problem. Most of them come with a LEGAL version of Cubase LE too. Bonus!
